Hi there! Sorry my post is late today! Today Maki is our host. Maki wants us to make B-day cards for kids under the age of 13. I had a great idea for a card for a boy using the Tokens Of Affections set. Well some ideas should just stay in your head LOL. I got the robot stamped and colored. I covered the word love in the center with a piece of dp. I cut the robot out. I stamped one extra arm and cut that out and used a small pop dot to adhere it. I colored the eyes in with a black marker and then added white dots. I spent several hours trying to find a balloon stamp from Flourishes. I never found the stamp I was so mad I went to bed! This morning I look once more and still no balloon so I went with a circle punch. I still think this set would make a great card without being used for Valentine's Day.

Here it is

Make sure to stop by the FOF team to see all the wonderful kids cards. We have a new guest designer for the month of May Brenda O’Rear/Benzi, stop by and show her some love!

I had a terrible time getting a good photo of this card. The base cardstock is textured so IRL it's not so flat and plain looking. I used a flat magnet to keep the card closed. The pretty little bucket of tulips are from the newly released April Showers set. I colored the image using Copics. The image was stamped on Flourishes Classic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink.

Be inspired by checking out what the FOF have created using Cindy's color choice:)

It's time for FTTC #113. This week I'm your host and my challenge is to use florals on your cards this week. Everywhere you look flowers are blooming. The Cherry Blossom trees are just gorgeous right now.

Here's my card.

For this card I used Flourishes Classic White cardstock and cut a Lacey circle. I stamped the image from the Lenten Rose set and colored it with chalk and Copics. If you use chalk and Copics make sure you color everything you need to with the Copics first! Once you use the chalk you don't want to get any residue on your markers:)

Hi there! It's time for the FTTC #112. This week Tammy is our host and her challenge is a inspiration challenge! I jumped in both feet this week and really tried to create the things that inspired me from the picture. I haven't made a circle card and I was drawn to the quilted background, colors and circles. So here's the inspiration.

Here's my take on it.

I used a cuttlebug folder on the Flourishes Classic White cardstock. I stamped the berries and sentiment from the Berry Sweet set on the same white cardstock and colored it with Copics. I cut out the berries and adhered them to the smaller circle.

Our Guest Designer for April is Pattie Goldman Welcome Pattie!! Make sure you stop by and show some love!

Hi there! It's time for FTTC #110 Maki is our challenge host and she is challenging us to use the masking technique on our cards this week. You can read all the details on the Flourishes blog.

My youngest daughter was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society this past weekend. We are SO proud of her!! Her favorite color is blue she doesn't like girly type things. When I first saw this set I knew it would get alot of inky love. Love Notes is fast becoming my favorite flourishes set:) So here's the card I made for my daughter. She really does ROCK!!

I stamped the image on Flourishes Classic White cardstock. I colored the image using copics. I'm glad you stopped by.
